Five men were arrested on felony marijuana charges at a Pupukea address Friday morning after officers from the Honolulu Police Department's Narcotics/Vice Division found what appeared to be numerous marijuana plants both indoors and in the yard of the property.

Three of those arrested, ages 55, 28 and 40, identified themselves as occupants of the Wehiwa Place address. The two other men arrested, ages 32 and 24, listed no local address.

All were arrested on counts of first-degree promotion of marijuana and possessing drug paraphernalia. Three of the men also were arrested for contempt of court.
